YOU REALLY CANNOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP

It turns out that the County Clerk in Kentucky who is refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples because of "God's law" -- and, indeed, is refusing to issue any marriage licenses at all to any couples -- has been married four times.  I defy The Onion to write a satirical piece that tops that!

Nice Jewish guy named Jacob goes into the Kentucky clerk's office. He's married to a woman named Leah but he wants to marry her sister Rachel. What does Kim Davis do?

Does she:

deny him the license (and thus repudiate biblical law)?
permit him the license (establishing Judeo-Christian shariah as the county law)?
tell him that marriage is just between one man and one woman (affirming that her bullshit is completely arbitrary)?

And since when were the people in Kentucky so fastidious about whom they marry?
